1. (C/NF) Ben Lyon (please protect) of the FCO's
Counterterrorism Policy Department said that the Austrian
Presidency has decided to hold a snap meeting of the EU
Clearinghouse on Thursday, May 18. The meeting was
originally scheduled for either June 12 or 14 (ref A). Lyon
said that he understood that a possible EU designation of the
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) would be the key
agenda item.
2. (C/NF) Lyon added that many suspected that the Austrian
Presidency was acting "in cahoots with" the Swedish. By
moving the Clearinghouse date up, the Austrians and the
Swedish are hoping to limit the ability of interested
countries to lobby EU members to support the designation.
Lyon reiterated that, in order to secure an EU designation,
Nordic countries must be convinced to support the designation
(refs A and C).
